Hardy Asters 
The Hardy Aster or Michaelmas Daisies 
make such a lavish display of bloom in 
September and October that they are 
considered indispensable to the hardy 
border. Their ease of culture, freedom 
from insects and disease, and their per- 
fect hardiness make them ideal border 
plants. We are listing varieties which 
we have chosen from many hundreds 
as representing the cream of the crop. 
Every variety desirable and worth 
while. 
In order to keep Hardy Asters bloom- 
ing freely divide and replant every 
spring and you will be rewarded with 
thousands of flowers on neat plants.
